Belfast, Northern Ireland (Release): Production has started on the HBO Original drama series 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The series is an adaptation of George RR Martin’s novella 'The Hedge Knight'.

The story is set a century before the events of 'Game of Thrones'. Two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros… a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits all await these improbable and incomparable friends.

Finn Bennett and Bertie Carvel join the cast as Aerion and Baelor Targaryen.
